I have been a lifelong artist and collector; pursuing creativity constantly and striving to always live artfully. I consider myself a bricoleur - pronounced bree-kooh-loor.
This French word describes someone who has the ability to transform diverse objects into something new, most often working with what is found at hand. My collections include vintage paper, rusted metal scraps, pottery shards, beach glass, bones, feathers, beads, buttons, lace, fabric scraps, old bottles, jewelry and rocks. My current creative streak has me focusing on mosaics. The variety of resource material I collect allows for weird and wonderful serendipity to happen as the creative process begins. The juxtaposition of once unremarkable items can startle or amuse, cause one to think or question, or allow a story to be told that is limited only by the imagination of the viewer.
In addition to my personal creative pursuits, my husband, Will Mosgrove, and I run Acme Art Moke Hill – a creative playground in Mokelumne Hill. We offer personalized classes in a variety of media and free artful events for our community at large. Please visit our FB page, Acme Art Moke Hill, to see what we are up to.
